MyFunding Background MyFunding has been introduced to improve and simplify the Social Work Bursary (SWB) application process and to give students more up to date access to their SWB application.

Once you have registered for a MyFunding account you will be able to view and monitor the progress of your application, whilst allowing you to keep your personal information, such as change of address, bank account details and changes to your personal circumstances up to date. You will also be able to see what supporting documents we have received from you.

Once your application has been processed you will be able to view your notification of award which sets out your bursary in more detail and lets you know when you can expect to receive your payments.
